    Help needed with buttenhole pins


    Recommended Posts

    These pins just arriverd with some other medals but I can't identify all of them. Hopefully someone can help (or correct) me. :)

    First line:

    • Order of Leopold I (civil, Knight)
    • Order of Leopold II (Knight), Commemorative Medal of the War 14-18 and (not sure) Civil Decoration 14-18 (unknown class).
    • Unknown

    Second line:

    • Order of Leopold I (civil, Grand Cordon) and Order of Leopold II (Grand Cross). I'm not sure if it is a silver or gold bar under the cockade so it can be a Commander in both orders.
    • Civil Decoration for Long Service in the Administration (gold medal)
    • I think this one has too many possibilities.

    Third line:

    • Probably a pin from a POW federation
    • War Invalide Pin (FNI, Fédération Nationale des Invalides)
    • Fire Cross with FNI pin

    It crossed my mind but the WWII War Cros has three stripes on each side and this buttonhole pin has only two.

    I agree, I missed a stripe too.But, it might got lost during manufacturing. A buttonholepin is a small thing. Maybe the outer stripe was cut away??.... Or it's another medal.

    Kind regards,

    Jef
